Dr. Nase -- Co-Investigator in Rosacea Clinical Study & Rosacea Patent

Dr. Nase performed one of the first in-depth clinical studies on the effect of Photoderm on rosacea symptoms.  He was co-investigator with Dr. Patrick Bitter, Sr. a Dermatologist and Laser Specialist for the Institute of Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery, in California, USA. 

Dr. Bitter and Dr. Nase demonstrated that after 5 Photoderm treatments most rosacea symptoms were significantly reduced or completely cleared (57 rosacea patients were randomly selected for this clinical study):

• 86% of rosacea sufferers reported significant improvement in facial redness
• 84% reported significant improvement in broken blood vessels (telangiectasia)
• 76% reported significant improvement in facial flushing intensity & duration
• 63% reported significant improvement or clearance in rosacea papules
• 82% reported significant improvement in uneven facial pigment
• 79% reported significant improvenet in skin texture ( lumpy-bumpy texture). 

Dr. Nase and Dr. Bitter then published their clinical results and techniques in a medical textbook, "Lasers in Aesthetic Surgery". Bitter, P., Sr. and Nase, G.P. "Skin Rejuvenation for Sun Damage, Aging and Rosacea using Intense Pulsed Light."  Lasers in Aesthetic Surgery. Thieme Medical Publishers, 2000, pgs. 351 - 357.

Dr. Nase and Dr. Patrick Bitter Sr. also patented a novel topical to increase the effectiveness of laser treatments and to reduce facial redness:

 

"Topical Phenylephrine Rosacea Treatment"
 

United States Patent Application	20050256204
Kind Code	A1
Bitter, Patrick H. Sr. & Nase, Geoffrey P.	November 17, 2005

A near-permanent skin treatment includes photothermolysis of reddened facial skin to induce ischemia. Reperfusion of the photothermolysis treated skin is inhibited by following with regular applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in a lotion until vascular necrosis is  complete. Alternatively, a temporary treatment for reddened facial skin includes only cosmetic as-needed applications of phenyl-epinephrine carried in lotion to induce vaso-constriction in Rosacea and other similarly embarrassing skin disorders.
